  1. 4. Set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH.
  2. 5. Carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
  3. 9. Process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates sugars s sugars and starches.
  4. 11. Light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar.
  5. 13. Series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions.
  6. 14. Saclike photosynthesis membranes found in chloroplasts

  1. 1. Organism that obtains food by consuming other living things; also called a consumer
  2. 2. Set of reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar also called the Calvin cycle.
  3. 3. Organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds.
  4. 6. Cluster of proteins that span the cell membrane and allow hydrogen ions (H+) to pass through it.
  5. 7. Principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms.
  6. 8. Light-absorbing molecule used by plants to gather the sun's energy.
  7. 10. Small opening in the epidermis of a plant that allows carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen to diffuse into and out of the leaf
  8. 12. An important compound that cells use to store and release energy.
